Subject: [PATCH] Remove unnecessary files in generated APKs (#3383)

* Removed `kotlin-tooling-metadata.json`, see https://togithub.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/issues/3158#issuecomment-1023151105
  This file includes Gradle version code, so Gradle updates will no longer cause binary changes.

* Removed "META-INF/version-control-info.textproto" introduced in AGP 8.4.1, which causes the binaries to change on each commit.

AGP updates will still cause binaries changes because it produces a required `app-metadata.properties` under `META-INF`,
and the `META-INF/MANIFEST.MF` file in the signature includes AGP version.

It is possible to empty `app-metadata.properties`: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77745443/how-to-stop-gradle-from-generating-app-metadata-properties-at-compile-time
